   "You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics."

   He pretty much improvised his whole way thru Apocalypse Now, iirc.

   RIP.

   Ups - Apocalypse Now, Red Rock West.

   Downs - Waterworld, Super Mario Bros.

   He had some presence on stage/camera - no doubt.

   Blue Velvet would be my choice

   Shame to see him go, but at least he lived his life to the full and got more out of it than most 74 year olds.

    Blue Velvet definitely.
    Apocalypse Now a close second.
    What about that South American thing Out of The Blue? Only remember it vaguely from the Channel 4 banned movies series.

    Oh my god. First I heard of it.

    Could I have one of those Chesterfields now?

    Will be missed.

    RIP, a true legend. This scene is one of my all-time favourites: True Romance - Dennis Hopper & Christopher Walken

    He pretty much improvised his whole way thru Apocalypse Now, iirc.

    
    In fairness, I think that has also been said of Sheen (in parts) and certainly Brando.
    However, he was probably a cult hero to at least two generations for Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now. Certainly an actor I followed with interest after his performance in Apocalypse Now.

    RIP

    Yeah, Easy rider did it for me, that's a great film. Although to be fair Nickleson did steal the show a bit.

    Tragedy for those of us holding out for a Dennis Hopper/Gary Coleman collaboration. Remake of Twins never going to happen now.

    Aye a cool different sort of actor but no actor is good enough to make me suffer Apocalypse Now again. Agree with the True Romance scene a great scene.

    He was rather mean wasn't he even at the last moment of his life.

    Thum! Thum! Thum! Another bites the dust ...
